Care Revolution network meeting in Einschlingen/Bielefeld

From 16 to 18 October, we will be holding our autumn networking event, which will once again take place in person. The venue is the conference centre at the Einschlingen Training Centre near Bielefeld: https://www.einschlingen.de/

We will be focusing on two main topics at the networking meeting. On Saturday morning, we will focus on preparations for a comprehensive feminist strike in 2027. After lunch, we will examine the plans – some of which have been drafted and others already adopted – to dismantle social safeguards, and, above all, we will discuss strategies for resistance.

On both topics, we will also reflect as concretely as possible on the state of our visibility and effectiveness as a network and as network groups. This also concerns the question of how we can reach the most vulnerable groups of people in particular.

On Sunday, we also intend to reach agreements on, amongst other things, our joint position as set out in the resolution currently being revised, and on membership issues.

Although the programme details are still being finalised and will be published as soon as possible, we urge you to register early by emailing koordination@care-revolution.org! Firstly, this helps with our planning; more importantly, however, we need to confirm or cancel the room bookings at the conference venue by 21 August. That is why the registration deadline is 20 August. As cancellation fees apply in the event of a last-minute cancellation, please treat this registration as binding.

The venue is accessible; there are two single rooms equipped for wheelchair users. The remaining rooms are double rooms. If you have any special requests or needs, whatever they may be, please write to the organising team. Whether it’s catering, accommodation, the programme or anything else – we’ll try to find a solution with you and the conference venue.

In particular, no one should be excluded from taking part for financial reasons. To this end, we are using the tried-and-tested approach from previous network meetings: Solidarisch Sorgen e.V., a partner organisation within the Care Revolution network, will settle the accommodation costs directly with the Einschlingen educational centre.

We suggest you transfer an amount of between €60 and €80. A higher amount is, of course, welcome and helps with the collective funding of the meeting. For your information: the costs from Friday evening to Sunday lunchtime are €142 for accommodation in a twin room with full board. If you are staying elsewhere – for example, participants from the Bielefeld regional group – the cost is €116. You are welcome in any case! This also applies if you are unable to pay or need help with travel costs. If you are unsure, please do get in touch with the organising team!

Please note: As this is technically a donation rather than a participation fee, the amount cannot be refunded. However, a donation receipt can be issued for your tax return.

Please transfer the amount to the following account, quoting the reference “Donation Network Meeting”:

We are confident that, once again, we will create a setting for a productive meeting where everyone can feel at ease. If there is anything you need or if you have any questions, please email koordination@care-revolution.org.
